canyonmule Valued Member United States 93 Posts	Posted 05/31/2023 1:33 pm For some reason I decided to look at my 1961 proof set again this morning, this time under my cheap microscope and this is what I saw ... is it ... or my imagination? I took the coin out of the original cello after many many many minutes of looking and looking again. Pics are from after removing from the cello. (sorry the full coin pics are blurry - cheap phone) Report this Post to the Staff

coin rejector Pillar of the Community United States 2854 Posts	Posted 05/31/2023 2:06 pm @canyon.... Its the big-one, it were mine, I'd consider having it slabbed. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 05/31/2023 2:24 pm No doubt the big one. FS-101, easily $1200-$1500. Huge congratulations. I recommend having it slabbed and sold if that's the direction you want to go. Definitely slab though! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
canyonmule Valued Member United States 93 Posts	Posted 05/31/2023 2:27 pm Called a few LCS's and one was interested enough to look at this posting so I guess I'll try to raise the cash for submittal. 2 milk spots and something attached to the field below the L in Liberty on the obv I will sell it - almost put the whole set on ebay for ~ $30 or so :) Report this Post to the Staff

canyonmule Valued Member United States 93 Posts	Posted 05/31/2023 11:08 pm @oddguy Thanks. The gloves were on before I cut the cello. Coin went on the microscope stage, seated on the card insert from the set. Then straight to a 2X2 after the photo session. Report this Post to the Staff
